coping with bereavement  

Definition

  • To be involved in close relationships inevitably means that one will eventually experience the loss of a loved one. Those who experience such loss are usually surrounded by people in mourning, which is a powerful and stressful emotional state that is rooted in the unconscious psychological reactions to a loss.
